I'm always drawn back in after I 'give up' a project from dying too much

I've died like 12 times making a very intricate lava flow system with glass and lost a ton of iron from buckets and momentum when im on a roll

I've given up a couple times today and went right back to it... I can't help myself

How do you guys do it with your insane/dangerous projects? Just stop noobin' it and quit dying?
